This invention relates to improvements in carburetors for use ith-internal combustion engines v In these carburetors itis knownto employ a slidable piston-valve or block formed- With achoke tube-tor each main nozzle, the

choke tubes extending directly through the piston-valve or block and being lowered vupon each of the-main nozzles simultaneously so that-the said nozzles are equally:

to be attached.- to the engine, is arranged horizontally a shallow box of rectangular shapeinhorizontal andyertical sections.
